A billion-dollar startup wants to bring extinct animals back. AI is how it plans to do it.
Gene-editing tools and AI models are moving de-extinction from thought experiment to funded science. The hard questions are just getting started.
Apple's AI Designs Proteins by Learning Sequence and Shape at the Same Time
A new model from Apple ML Research skips the usual two-step training process and generates both the chemical sequence and the 3D shape of proteins together, which could shorten the path to new drug candidates.
The VC Who Left $4 Billion Behind to Bet Small on AI Biology
Vijay Pande ran one of venture capital's biggest biotech funds. Now he wants to prove that a smaller, AI-native firm can do what the giants cannot: treat biology like engineering.
This startup keeps human skin alive for weeks to train an AI on it
Michael Polansky, Lady Gaga's partner and a former senior figure in tech philanthropy, has spent years building an AI startup that discovers skincare compounds using living skin tissue kept alive outside the body. He is only now talking about it.
AI Is Helping Robot Labs Design New Medicines and Materials Faster Than Ever
Automated biofoundries, labs where robots do the bench work, are getting an AI upgrade. Here is what that means for drug discovery and everyday health.
A Robot Lab Grows Human Tissue to Give AI the Data It Needs to Find Real Drugs
Vivodyne's warehouse-scale machines test drug candidates on lab-grown human organs, not mice. The startup says this is the missing ingredient that could make AI drug discovery actually work.
South Korean Researchers Used AI to Design DNA That Folds Itself into Tiny Shapes
A new AI model cuts the hardest part out of DNA origami, the decades-old technique for sculpting genetic material into nanoscale structures with medical and scientific uses.
